iIlMan,,in. Resignq

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Secretary Man
ning's attention was to-day called to the
published statements that he expects shortly
to resign from the treasury to become the
head OF new bank in New Y ork. and an
expression WAS invited from him upon the
subject because of its great public interest
The secretary replied that he had not been
offered the presidency of any such bank;
that according to his experience it is Gus
tomary to organize bank and elect a board
of directors before selecting the other officers,
and so far as he knew, this had not
been done. Mr.. Mannings remarks
indicated that he did not wish to appear as
expressing in advance an opinion upon Il
a contingency which had not arisen. The
fact that several of Mr. Manning's friends
are among the organizers of the proposed
new bank and that large number of the
heavy subscriptions for the stock have
been made contingent on Mr. Manning's
becoming the president of it. gives color to
the rumors that he is to resign his place in
the cabinet in order to become the manager
OF the enterprise.

FIGHTING AGAINST WOMEN
over 200 Nien on n Strike to Secure
the Discharge of Thirteen Poor
in.AS


Girls.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Selz, Schwab &
CO. 225 strikers fought shy of the factory
at the corner of Washington street and
Wabash avenue this morning. There were
no crowds around, and two policeman, who
stood on the opposite corner,
had nothing to do. The thirteen
young women who precipitated
the strike by refusing to join the Knights
of Labor were at work on the top floor,
and the foreman remained in the Office
to receive applicants for places. He re-
ported that he had been asked for work
by about fifty men. and that most
of these would be put at the
benches Monday morning. One of the
members of the firm said he expected to
have no trouble in getting men enough to
fill the vacancies, and that there would
probably be full force on by the middle of
the week. This afternoon special
committee of three from District
Assembly "a visited the factory. They
asked to talk with the girls and
were uShered into the work-rOum
There spirited conference was held, and
the young women announced that they
would sooner quit than join the Knights
Later the committee talked the matter over
with Mr.. Mayer. They asked him, he
said, whether it was policy to let
225 men go for the sake of
thirteen women. He replied: 1T may
not be policy, but if the thirteen are in the
right the firm will stand with them as
against the 225." Mr. Mayer said the
members of the firm are unit on the Ques-
ton, 'and that there would be no back
down.

Testimony in the Doodle Alderman's
Trial--A Jersey City EN-

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 29.-Some time
last night the store of Benedict & Ruedy,
furriers at 245 Superior street, was entered
by burglars, and between 81, 600 and So, 600
worth of seal skin Sacques were stolen.
For cool impudence the raid surprises any
thing of the kind in the history of this city.
In front Of the store there is hackstand
where there are carriages all night. and
within stones throw of the store police
man watches corner from sunset to sun
rise. The property holders in that block do
not trust solely to the police force for pro-
lection, but employ private Waterman to
guard their premises. Despite all these
precautions a gang OF burglars coolly bored
a hole through the wood in the front door
of the store and inserting a
set screw, knocked off the catch
of the lock. entered the door, and pro-
ceeded to pick out a quantity Of the finest
goods manufactured by the firm After
effecting an entrance they went to the safe
in the Office, near the center of the store,
and with jimmies and bars broke off the
hinge pins and tried to lift the door from
the vault Unsuccessful in this. with Il
hammer they attempted to break the panels
III the safe doors. The attempt was futile,
ard the gopherS went to the sample depart
ment where the cloaks and sacques of recent
manufacture are stored. In a case at one
side of the room large number OF seal skin
sacques were hung on hooks and they
took down twenty eight OF the most Valu-
able ones. A rack in the center OF the
room was stripped of sixteen sacQues. and
with their booty the burglars proceeded
toward the doors. Outside there was a
carriage in waiting and it was quickly
loaded with the goods. While loading the
stolen property the thieves either became
frightened or else they could carry no
more and left eight sacQues on the floor near
the front door, taking with them, however,
thirty-six all told. The police and watch
man did not discover that the store had
been entered and made no report of the
affair when they answered to the roll call
this morning.

THE DOODLE CASES.
EGuFOx SWears That G'Neiil Did Not
Visit Mca.aughlin,s.

New YORK, Jan. 29.-The trial of Ex-
Aid. O'Neill. the boodler, was continued
to-day in the court of oyer and terminer.
A large crowd of eXpectant spectators filled
the room awaiting the startling develop
mentS that had been promised. One of
these was in the shape OF Miss Lou Fox,
who lived at the residence of Mrs. Nc
LaughIin. whose testimony was decidedly
interesting. She was one of the witnesses
for the defense and proved a good one.
Her testimony as brought out by
O'NeilFS counsel was the most important
of any yet introduced. She said she
had resided at the Mclaughlin residence
from October, 1888. to June. 1884. Her
testimony was Il complete denial of all that
Katie Metz and EX-Ald. Waite said as to
the meeting Of the combine at McLaughin'S
house. She said that they had never met
there, because she had waited on the family
continuously and without interruption. She
was asked how it was that she opened the
door, and replied: Mrs. Mclaughlin asked
me TO, as the servant
WAS TOO STUPID"
The witness further said: 1.-The girl only
remained two weeks after came"
Did you know Mr. Mclaughlin was an
alderman"
YES, of course l did"
In reply to the question as to whether
she had seen Mr.. Waite at the house she
said that she had not.
Then if he stated that he attended
meetings Of the aldermen at the house he
lied?"
Indeed he did" Similar questions
were asked as to other witnesses and the
girl made the same reply. She stated that
there were meetings of the Tammany gen.
eral committee. why did you not so tes-
tify on the McQuade trial?' The witness
did not answer. On the cross examination
by Col Fellows the latter said: ~ on knew
that Mr. McQuade was being tried. Why
did you allow him to be tried, convicted
and imprisoned without communicating
this information?" This was objected to
by counsel for the defense, but the court
allowed it. II would have testified" the
witness answered, IF | had been sent for,
but no one came for me-" She stated in
explanation that she had conversed with
Mrs. Mclaughlin about the McQuade trial
but did not think what she knew
was of any Importance. The witness an
swered readily the several questions asked
her. Mrs. Mclaughlin was the next wit
ness to take the stand. She is the widow
OF the late eX-Ald. Mclaughlin. She said
that Lucinda Fox was her cousin, and her
evidence was an exact counterpart of that
given by Miss Fox, in that Mrs. McLaugh-
lin corrob0rated it in every detail She
said: My husband did not answer the
bell He was in feeble condition. He
had frequent visitors. l always saw them"
Dir. Mitchell said:

Tee that gentIeman?"

Did you spend your evenings at

THE HEAD SHOULD BE FOUND
the greater part of the neck will be found
with it. The left arm had been amputated
at the shoulder. but the right arm was in
its place. The little finger of the right
hand had been severed by the surgeons who
performed the autopsy i'll Maryland. 1t
was apparently this finger which was stiff
and permanently bent. Examination of
this finger showed three sears that
indicated that the tendons had once been
cut, in which case the finger would remain
stiff The trunk was not opened. 1t will
be photographed after bringing the pieces
together and set upon a pedestal. After

completed. The stomach is still in Balti-
